My friends and I passed this book around from The Babysitters Club - about sleepovers. Each of us picked a different theme and set it up. I loved the girly theme -complete with oatmeal facial masks, which many of us were to chicken to try.

Oh I love reading about your memory! I had a craft themed birthday when I was 12, we decorated wash cloths it was so fun. We each made our own, then everyone signed one for me to keep. My mom was a brave soul to let us have all that paint and glitter in the house!

I don't really remember any of my birthday parties as a tween (my Dad was in the Navy so we moved a lot) but my favorite themed party that I have thrown was a luau for my husband's birthday on year, complete with drinks out of coconuts and grass skirts. It was so much fun, and it was a surprise party for him, which made it even better.

My favorite memory of being a tween was how all of a sudden my sisters and I started to have something in common and instead of fighting we started to bond and have been close ever since.Laurie Emersonlauraemerson17 at yahoo dot com
